The way it should be. Just make sure its good ram for your computer cuz if your not running a 64bit system you might have some problems. When I bought my ram I bought ddr3 and its high speed too but its a little fast for my computer so sometimes it gives the bsd or applications crash
If this is done soon can one be done like in the summer... I won't be back in ct till like early may =(

didn't know ****** a cactus could be so fun
blah blah power rankings... as long as nobody puts brookman on it
edit: not that he's not good, but it's kind of like releasing a MA PR list and putting Krazy Jones on it or something
Is it sad that the best part of my weekend was playing kickball and having drinks with a bunch of jacked Rugby girls? It was a pretty amazing time. We kicked ***.... and balls.
I am bored at work and the CT thread is like the my anti-boredom.

fairly sure this applies to 97% of CT
play me so that I can step my game the **** up. Also, so that I don't have to drive to New Haven or take a train into NYC to play this game.CT better step it up (minus cort)
also, rankfest is a bad idea. basing rankings off of a single day of playing is stupid and there's a lot more that goes into them that just objective evidence. I mean, I'm itching to play smash in general so I might go anyway, but I'm very much against the idea of using a single smashfest to rank players (also at this point in my smash career I couldn't really care less about rankings). Oh, also if this fest gets in the way of getting sensei mad drunk in nyc, there is no way I'll be there.
I want to be ranked in CT. Can I go to the fest??? :-)
Also, PC, you have been going to No Johns Biweeklies. Go to Sensei's thing this weekend. I am sure we can find you a ride...*coughMogwaicough

Fight the urge! I do and I live in MD for Christ's sake. I can't turn around without seeing someone playing Brawl.
You will definitely love Bebop.
ha ha ha ho he ha ho ho he ho he ho
And I thought my jokes were bad.
I heard Afro Samurai was pretty bad.
I hope he's ok.
LMAO
Same, although I saw FLCL in English and it was actually a very good dub. Some 95% of dubs are atrocious.
ROFL I've hated Dell forever.
I've been called confidencewayup before, no joke.
Welcome brother, we've been expecting you.
Afro Samurai looked like pure sex, I want to see it. It's black people with swords drawn in anime style, sounds like boondocks, so it has to be jawesome.

then either a) don't do PRs or b) do the really informal and kind of innacurate rankfest.
I don't see another choice.
Thumbs with the crazy post but he forgot my beard vid.

top 5 dubs of all time without a doubt. thats what happens when the directors and **** go and pick out english voice actors(listen to directors commentary). FLCL is probly one of the best released DVD packages as well. theres a reason why they were/are expensive. high high quality dubs, director commentary, subtitles translated pretty well, art gallery etc. its worth it srsly
afro samurai got alot more marketing exposure than like any other anime to get licensed recently. its not amazing at all. its just mediocre. its a run of mill linear fight fest.(streets of rage meets kill bill) the animation is beautiful and it's fights are choreographed amazingly. there is little plot and a decent attempt at char development. I dun even think sam jack is a good fit in all honesty. I mean I dun think Don Chido would've done it(because he gets paid too much to do teh animes) but I would've like to see him voice afro.
theres an anime every 2 months in japan that does the whole......great animation short lived series with good action scene thing. its average at best.
How about a big franchise like spike pick something decent to blow alot of marketing on. maybe GitS? or Fist of the north star.....there are plently of mature awesome anime of higher quality.
EDIT:@ cogsmooch ur location is awesome.
@ DarkDragoon hell yeah **** dell, but i thank them, they helped me decide to learn how to build computers, and I wouldn't have this copmuter im on now thats CUSTOM MADE BY THE JUGGANAUT *****
A rankfest would be a fun way to give everybody a chance to play each other in a somewhat serious competitive environment. What's wrong with that?
Sometimes I think I want to just dedicate my life to Starcraft. Anybody else ever get that?

Yeah, most English voice actors sound like they don't give a **** and would rather be somewhere else.

care alot bout the Puerto Rico melee scene.
There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a bad way to do rankings. Doing state rankings based on a semi-competitive round robin tournament doesn't really reflect who's consistently playing well. My fundamental gripes with this form of a rankings are:
1) Doesn't reflect any sort of consistency, people could be ranked disproportionally high or low based on a single good or bad day of play.
2) Requires that EVERYONE worth consideration for the rankings gets together at a given time and place, which is a scheduling nightmare and leaves the question of what to do with people who didn't go.
3) Doesn't actually put pressure on anyone who doesn't really care about rankings. The fact that one doesn't care about the rankings should not result in them being placed incorrectly (otherwise Cactuar would've been dropped off the PA Rankings ages ago). Tournament matches and MMs are the only objective pieces of evidence that should be considered when discussing rankings.
Those are pretty much it. I'm not saying that statewide smashfests are a bad thing, I'm saying that they're a bad basis for rankings.
My suggestion would be to make a draft list before some kind of fest. Figure out which placings are close and use the fest to get data for those specific placements. It still has the problem of consistency but not to as great of an extent.
Or just have a smashfest. There doesn't need to be a reason for it.

What makes you think I won't be there
I've always wanted to dedicate my life to Melee, but it's hard with everyone converting to Brawl over here
I think I'll get back into Brawl to show certain people they aren't as good as they think. Maybe they'll stop playing when someone who hasn't played in a month beats them lol
hey thumbs, I've gotten my zerg ditto skills up to not completely sucking ***, so if your friends want to play again, just IM me.

There really is no better way to do a CT PR than a RR. Just cuz it's a single day, doesn't mean it won't be fairly accurate. If you don't go, you won't be on it, and you're prolly an inactive player anyway, or if you complain then you shouldn't care if you're on it or not. It's a good way to give people who want to be active in our community a chance to prove themselves. Sure, if you lose to someone that you beat most of the time, it doesn't mean they are better than you overall, that's why it's a RR, you're gonna play a ton of people before it's over. People you normally don't even get a chance to play that are in your own state.
If anything, this is more accurate than big tourney results. If someone like Mogwai, who is better than me overall, get's a hard Pool and loses to everyone, and I beat 2 people in an easier Pool, that doesn't prove anything. How many players from CT have any of you had to play IN TOURNEY. This is a chance for all of us to play...well...all of us.
Man up, seriously. No johns.

The ranking fest does not need to be
A-All in one day
B-and it does need to have everyone each day.
In retrospect we could just lay February down and in that month we all need to get together with one another and play a best of three or five set with each person. 1-2 people would be in charge of compiling results and making an accurate list of CT's top ten.

Like I said, we just get together with all these people within a month and play them in a set or best of three sets or whatever they agree on and with this we also get to see how well we perform over time. Any other ideas? I'm up for them.

It's this simple.
It does have to be in one day, because we have freaking lives outside of smash.
We do a RR. We post the results in this thread.
If you don't like your placing, or if you regret not going to it at all, then that is going to make you want to do better next time/go to it. This is how you increase friendly competition within our community. The results will change every month, so nothing is set in stone.

there's nothing wrong with having an RR and treating everything in it as "tournament matches" when deciding on your power rankings... but to have it be the sole source of truth is a pretty bad idea
edit: and don't assume nearby OOS won't go if it's not too far; those things can be pretty fun

That's why i said, nothing is set in stone. All of us will know it's just the results from the RR. It's not like one of our players is gonna wake up one day and log on to smashboards.com and look in the CT thread and have a heart attack cuz Aiser is ranked #1.there's nothing wrong with having an RR and treating everything in it as "tournament matches" when deciding on your power rankings... but to have it be the sole source of truth is a pretty bad idea
